  1. why


  2. Good question....

    Yes, women can race if they want to but....

    Generally most women don't have the aggressive attitude that it takes to do something as wild as motorcycle racing.

    The few women that have the personality to compete would be a very, very small group. Women have less body strength and generally slower overall reflexes than men and just can't compete with the men if they could compete with men then they would, but they can't so they don't. There was a woman Jessica Zalusky, last year in AMA superbikes but she had difficulty cracking into the top 20's. She finished out 2006 with a 39th in F-Extreme. I haven't seen her this year.

    To create a MotoGP class for women would be even more difficult. First you will need to find enough women to fill the grid, remember that you will also need the support classes to allow them to gain the experience necessary to compete at the "top" level.

    Lets just say that you found a couple of hundred women world wide that are dedicated enough to do spend their lives racing. Now you need sponsors willing to put up somewhere near a hundred million dollars on the line.

    MotoGP is having a difficult time attracting top level primary sponsors as it is. Tobacco advertising has been kicked out and other sponsors are becoming increasingly scarce. Yamaha didn't have a title sponsor until just before the season started with Fiat ponying up the money, even this was a quite a stretch to arrange. Team Roberts may have to drop out of racing this year!

    Womens racing would probably have limited fan appeal and it would have an even more difficult time attracting sponsors then the teams already competing.

    But hey, anyone can race there is no rule keeping women out so go for it girls.....
